15. Our Perspective on the Future There is a “confluence of forces” affecting digital At the same time as companies are reviewing the effectiveness of their traditional advertising spend, their customers are driving a shift to digital channels “The global ad market could shrink by 10-15% (by 20% in the US ) in 2009”Source Interpublic – Australian Financial Review 16th March 2009 Traditional Media Channels (TV, Print, Radio) are under pressure – we cannot assume that they will continue to exist in their current form. They will need to either transform or perish. This is the RISE of DIGITAL
16. Our Perspectives on the Future Business of Significance – risk management, performance, managing yield becoming MUCH more important Commercial Focus – transaction capability, data gathering, commercial value becoming MUCH more important
17. What is the New Business of Media EVERY corporation or government agency MUST take greater hands on ownership for distributing their marketing message This means: Acquiring, managing and leveraging good DETAILED information about your customers Having the right infrastructure to distribute your own messages Having the right teams to manage your Digital Presence as a core capability Traditional Media will need to adapt to provide robust channels to well qualified groups of customers – and that means good systems, data & customer intelligence(& they’ll have to watch out for Google)
18. Important things to consider in 2009 Get your platform right – if you don’t have control of your data, your channels, your security and your transactions you WILL be disadvantaged coming out of this recession downturn Get your channels right – now is the time to have an integrated, cross channel capability. There are BIG moves afoot in mobiles andother channels you need to be ready. Get your operations right – Digital is core to the success of your business, but many companies still try to cobble together an internal team of generalists and do it on the cheap. Work with experts and consider outsourcing.
